Chapter 319: Enhancement of Extraordinary Abilities |
The method taught by Mogu provided a strong boost of confidence for everyone in Home who had advanced to Superhuman level but found themselves lost, unable to find their subsequent path for a long time.
Qin Ziwu's spirits lifted. "So that's how it is. Now I know the direction to strive for."
Du Yu's eyes flickered slightly. Since breaking through to Superhuman and shattering the body's limit locks, he had diligently cultivated without pause every day. Although he felt his physical fitness had improved by a tiny amount, the extent of improvement wasn't great. It seemed now that he had been striving in the wrong direction.
He thought back to before his Superhuman breakthrough, when he had bathed in dragon blood. He had stopped after breaking through.
Looking at it now, perhaps he could continue trying.
Cao Biansheng thought about his own Superhuman breakthrough mission. Could the subsequent path be to continue slaughtering on the battlefield? But where would he find so many people to kill? Although he enjoyed combat, he wasn't a butcher who took pleasure in killing people.
Besides dealing with people, would slaughtering beasts work?
His Superhuman path was named Slaughterer. The Slaughterer didn't specifically refer only to humans. Other creatures should probably count too, right?
Everyone present began contemplating their own paths.
Behind it was a long line of mares following right behind its rear end.
After returning home, Chitu immediately found the mares and took them on a tour of Home, as if patrolling its own territory.
Walking at the front, it strutted proudly, its neighs cheerful.
The mares swished their tails, following right behind Chitu's rear.
Listening to the continuous chorus of horse neighs and seeing Chitu's carefree expression,
Qin Ziwu couldn't help but sigh. "This guy is happy every day. Sometimes I really envy it. Having good racial talent is just different."
Mogu said, "The gap in innate racial traits can be compensated for."
As these words fell, the surroundings quieted for a moment.
Everyone's gazes fell upon it.
Mogu smiled faintly, crossing its arms in front of its chest. "I've compensated for it."
Qin Ziwen looked Mogu up and down. No wonder Mogu's displayed strength was surprisingly immense back in the seabed.
Looking at it now, it wasn't just because of a relatively high Superhuman level; there were other factors.
Mogu said, "There's more than one method to compensate for innate racial gaps. I once went to a place that was a wonder building. Inside, various magical delicacies could be made."
"I paid a price to taste a certain dietary supplement. It was said to be made from rare ingredients. After consuming it, my innate racial talents were enhanced."
Wonder building?
Qin Ziwen's expression shifted slightly. He thought of the two Wonder Cards he had obtained.
What Wonder Cards construct are wonder buildings.
He wondered if the two wonder buildings he obtained also had such magical effects.
He felt a few more points of anticipation for the wonder buildings that hadn't been constructed yet.
Qin Ziwen then took Mogu and Luoen to the Hundred Schools Book Tower.
As a Superhuman Hero unit summoned via a Recruitment Card, Mogu possessed many memories. According to it, during its lifetime, it had come from a fish-man Shedding Abyss, the time of which was now untraceable.
Because there were no reference points for time comparison.
After death, it transformed into a Recruitment Card and was summoned and descended once more.
But this time, it lost its identity as the master of the Shedding Abyss, instead surviving with the identity of a Recruitment Card.
The information Mogu revealed shocked quite a few people.
"So that means, people who have died still have a chance to be seen again!?" Cao Biansheng asked eagerly, thinking of his deceased friends and classmates.
If one could live long enough, would they be able to meet again in the future?
Mogu said, "Theoretically, it's possible. But the deceased won't appear in the same batch of Shedding Abysses. Moreover, the world is vast. No one knows how many Abysses there are. Even if they are truly reborn as recruits, the chance of reuniting again is minuscule."
"I don't hope to meet them again. But knowing they have another chance to live makes me happy." A smile appeared on Cao Biansheng's face.
Qin Ziwen felt somewhat puzzled. He sensed Mogu knew more than Li Tieshan. Li Tieshan's memories of many things from his lifetime had become blurred, only retaining his skills and daily common sense.
Mogu said, "It's related to realm. The more powerful the individual, the more memories they can preserve. Actually, I only remember a part myself. Many things have become vague."
Cao Biansheng was taken aback. So that's how it is.
Then, considering the star levels of his former classmates, if there was a chance to meet again, old acquaintances meeting as strangers... perhaps the other party would only curiously say, 'You look somewhat familiar.'
While chatting, Qin Ziwen led them to the Hundred Schools Book Tower.
After the initial fervor, the number of people at the Hundred Schools Book Tower had decreased somewhat compared to before.
At least there weren't as many people queuing at the entrance.
Entering the tower, Luoen closed its eyes. It attempted to transform the abilities it mastered into books.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
"Poof~"
Finally, a thin booklet successfully condensed in its palm.
《Elementary Fish-man Language General Knowledge》
Feeling somewhat guilty, Luoen placed the booklet on the bookshelf. It went through everything it could think of in its mind, then attempted to transform it all. In the end, only one book was produced!
It secretly glanced at Mogu, who was squatting on the side.
From Mogu's palm, books flew out one after another, making Luoen's eyes widen in shock. How could there be so many!
《Intermediate Fish-man Language General Knowledge》, 《Complete Techniques for Unarmed Underwater Combat》, 《Detailed Explanation of Deep-Sea Body Forging Art》, 《Intermediate Spear Techniques》, 《Superhuman Basic General Knowledge》, 《Intermediate Water Flow Sensing Experience》, 《Analysis of Deep-Sea Prey Weaknesses》...
Book after book, making Luoen's scalp tingle.
It originally thought it had mastered quite a bit of knowledge. Besides the Chieftain, it should have been the smartest person in the tribe.
Who would have thought this big guy, who didn't look like an orthodox Priest Clan member, actually possessed so much knowledge!
"That's all." Mogu had condensed a total of thirteen books.
Qin Ziwen carefully looked at the names of these books. He felt that if a person could thoroughly study and master all of them, even if they weren't a fish-man, they would become an underwater expert proficient in aquatic skills.
"There's still some knowledge, but it's not systematic enough to condense into books." Mogu expressed regret.
"You're already excellent." Qin Ziwen noticed Luoen secretly picking up one of the books Mogu had condensed, reading it with intense concentration. He smiled inwardly.
Being willing to learn was a good thing.
Exiting the tower, Luoen stayed inside to read books. Mogu, however, was curious about the Martial Training Ground. Cao Biansheng enthusiastically led the way.
Meanwhile, Du Yu, after obtaining Qin Ziwen's permission, went to the warehouse and had someone retrieve the previously collected ichthyosaur blood.
The cold blood had long since frozen into blood clots.
Thawing it, he placed it into a pot to boil.
The dark red blood boiled in the large pot, emitting a strong, fishy smell.
Pouring the heated ichthyosaur blood into a wooden barrel, Du Yu took off his clothes, stepped in, and squatted down.
The viscous ichthyosaur blood slowly seeped into his skin. The skin on Du Yu's body surface grew increasingly red, his blood vessels becoming vividly prominent.
Ten minutes later, Du Yu opened his eyes, a strange glint flashing deep within them. It actually worked!
Although this dragon blood was a bit old.
His subconscious gave feedback: this ichthyosaur blood wasn't fresh; it had been stored for too long.
His body craved fresh, powerful, scalding-hot dragon blood that radiated heat.
However, even though it was heated, frozen ichthyosaur blood still provided some assistance to his physique.
"Splash~"
An arm emerged from the bloody water. On the well-defined arm, blood vessels stood out like blue veins, the skin tone tinged with a faint reddish hue.
He could feel the power within his body slowly increasing.
